Anyways mate, from trying to decipher that message you want to know if 25 hours on those rings can still be able to hit ramps?

Yep definetly. Rings can last a fair while, it's only if you want superior performance that you change them every 10 rides or whatever. As long as your confident in your bike and it feels like it pulls you around hard enough, then by all means, go hit those ramps! If it is feeling boggy, then maybe change rings but otherwise not to worry for a little while.

Think about, how can the bike blow if it has old rings????? U can through ur bike off a cliff and un less it hits sum giant jaggerd rocks it probly wont blow.

there, there, it's all over now, lol problem fixed :p Anywho....i think by "blow" he means, sieze, in which case, rooted rings can cause that, and it's not what ya'd call cheap to fix. Piston and Rings are reccommended to be changed every so many hours, not too sure what that number is, it should be in the bikes user manual, but thats classified as "Race hours" i think, which is pretty non stop on the gas use, which fmx isn't...so i think you'll be pretty safe, just judge yourself by how much you ride and how hard you ride when ya do, it's just about self judgement really, as none of us can really give ya a certain amount of time ya should change. And when you change the rings, always change the piston with it, it should be done as a set, usually cost around $90 i think (well it was last time i needed a set) for Piston and rings
